Dynamics II

SEM Come watch as we revv up our own scale model of a Wankel rotary engine. See how different geometries effect the efficiency. Presentation in 103 Talbot, display outside on the quad. https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ro/www/SocietyforExperimentalMechanics/ Location: East Entrance This exhibit is suitable for: hs,adult

Transportation Building

Castaway

ISGE Each participant will be given aluminum foil, drinking straws, and scotch tape. The goal is to build the raft that will support the most weight in pennies. Room Number: 103 This exhibit is suitable for: gs

Fluids Fun

SEM Try your hand at fluid mechanics. Build a tin foil boat or watch a hydraulic jump. We have it all! Room Number: 126 This exhibit is suitable for: hs,adult

Sticky Skyscrapers

TAM Toys

SEM That’s right, mechanics is fun. Have fun learning about the mechanics of some simple toys. Everything here is hands on! Also, participate in an ongoing knot tying contest. Winners receive a prize. Room Number: 220 This exhibit is suitable for: All

ISGE Each participant is given toothpicks and marshmallows and instructed to build the tallest tower (truss) that they can. The tower must be able to stand without assistance. Room Number: 101 This exhibit is suitable for: gs

Gamma Epsilon’s Egg Drop at Transportation Building

Windtunnel Demonstration

AIAA Conduct aerodynamics demonstration in an experimental wind tunnel from the Department of Aerospace Engineering. Room Number: 18A This exhibit is suitable for: All

Gamma Epsilon The mission of Splatfest is to give young children, parents, and high school students the opportunity to build a device that prevents a raw egg from breaking (or cracking) when it is dropped out of a two-story window. The design should cost as little as possible (The builders will use fun-dollars to purchase supplies such as cotton balls, duct tape, napkins, rubber bands etc.). All designs that successfully prevent the egg from cracking will receive a prize. https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ro/www/ GammaEpsilon/main.htm Room Number: 206 This exhibit is suitable for: All
